I still keep an eye open in here, but since I quit playing mid MoP, I
don't really have anything particularly relevant to say.

I do sometimes miss going drunken tanking but most of the rest of what
I hear about what's new to the game doesn't really inspire me.  Not
that I've seen any email about 7 free days or the like.

Even so, I may yet return, if my life changes to give me regular
blocks of time to play. :)
